3

Cut the design paper into 4 x 4 cm squares and pile them. Place a thread in the middle of the square paper and staple them as shown in the image. Then Fold in half and spread them out.
It would look better if you print a design on both sides of the paper.

Unfold the paper. Apply glue on the diagonal stripes parts as shown in the image and attach them alternately.
Then turn over and attach the remaining part. Attach a thread to the upper part of the paper.
